Btw, I don't see Mienshao as high as B due to the competition it faces with Mega Medicham (if ppl forgot it actually exists lol) and Marshadow. It has Knock Off and U-Turn that differentiate from other fighting types but Mega Medicham has much more power, especially outside of STAB High Jump Kick and has an ability to learn elemental punches for coverage while Marshadow has a higher speed, better power outside of High Jump Kick, irresistable STAB combination and noticeably more bulk as well. However mega medicham is still a mega and and Marshadow and Medicham Can't scout the way meinshao can and finally it has a niche in regenerator that medicham and marshadow can't accomplish.Also Why has Mimikyu not been ranked yet? I thought Mimikyu was already ranked at B+, maybe I just forgot.

With Regenerator Mienshao will be noticeably weaker than Reckless, and I have already mentioned its niche. However, its niche is nowhere as near as B. More than 90% of Pokemon have some kind of niche, but their niche usefulness are different. For example, Mega Aerodactyl has a solid niche in revenge killing over other Megas while Lanturn has a small niche over Rotom-W in Volt Absorb, but that is simply not enough to be ranked.
